Jessi Ngatikaura Confronts Marciano Brunette About Affair in Unprecedented "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" Moment

Jessi Ngatikaura openly discussed her emotional affair with Marciano Brunette during season 3 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. She and her husband, Jordan Ngatikaura, have continued attending therapy to navigate the challenges in their marriage.

A newly released clip reveals Jessi confronting Marciano over his statements, highlighting their conflicting perspectives on what actually occurred. In the footage, Jessi is shown in her car, calling Marciano after learning from Layla that he had suggested they were intimate.

During the call, Jessi calmly told Marciano, You know that that's not true, so I'm just confused why that was said that way. Marciano responded that he didnt want to argue about it. When Jessi asked if he truly believed they had slept together, he replied, Yeah, I mean that's how I remember it. Jessi, frustrated, reiterated that they only kissed twice and that he had fallen asleep in her hotel room after one encounter.

She explained her honesty about having feelings for him, saying, I was struggling in my marriage. But I want it to be the truth. Marciano questioned if she planned to reveal everything, including wanting to leave Jordan and expressing love for him. He added, This is so much bigger than you think... I really can't. I'm sorry.

Both Demi and Bret expressed frustration at Marciano claiming Demi influenced his exaggeration about the affair. In season 3, Demis relationship with MomTok is strained as they debate whether she and Marciano had any physical interaction during or after their Italy trip. While Marciano admitted to kissing Demi, she insisted it was unwanted.

When Jessi and Demi discussed the situation, Demi said, I confided in you about what happened with Marciano, and then you had a physical and emotional affair with him. You were my best friend. Jessi responded, explaining she didnt believe Demi had romantic feelings for Marciano.

In a confessional, Jessi clarified, I didnt seek out someone who had harmed Demi to kiss him. Thats not what happened. Demi added, Unwanted touch is never acceptable, no matter the circumstances.

Marcianos representative also released a statement denying any allegations of inappropriate contact, emphasizing his commitment to addressing the situation transparently.

As the clip ended, host Stassi Schroeder asked Jordan Ngatikaura how he felt watching the confrontation. Jordan admitted feeling a little triggered but noted Jessi had never told him she intended to leave him for Marciano. Jessi clarified she had contemplated leaving Jordan due to unhappiness, but not for Marciano or anyone else.

Recently, Jessi mentioned that she and Marciano havent talked in a long time and expressed curiosity about how he would respond to the shows coverage. While his involvement with MomTok seems behind him, hints suggest he may appear in the upcoming Vanderpump Villa season in London.

The reunion of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is now available for streaming on Hulu.
